Recently I've been using Wikipedia as my news source. They have both a current events page [1] and a page summarizing this year's events [2]. I feel like Wikipedia's goal of being an encyclopedia forces out a lot of editorializing. Wikipedia also has the benefit of every article has the in-line links to context through other Wikipedia pages. It also has given me the opportunity to read about news stories that have fallen out of the public eye even though their "story" is still progressing (like the Ever Given blocking the Suez).
To make the articles more readable. I changed my link styling to more closely match the text styling, which can be done directly through the Wikipedia user account (using the "common.css" page).
